ENJOY A THRILLING BOAT RIDE TO NIAGARA FALLS

What better way to see the biggest falls in North America than with an up-close cruise? Pack your raincoat, because we’re going on an exciting boat ride to Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the falls that make up the Niagara. Hear the thundering roar, feel the spray and marvel at nature’s power, as you watch close to 3 million litres plunge into the gorge below every second.

EXPLORE OLD QUEBEC CITY AND LEARN HOW MAPLE SYRUP IS MADE

You can’t miss French-speaking Quebec on your Canada road trip and you’re sure to be impressed once you lay eyes on the charming cobbled streets and gorgeous parks. The city has an elegant European feel, but you’ll get a truly Canadian experience when we take you to Erabliere le Chemin du Roy, a traditional Cabana a Sucre (sugar shack), to learn how to make Canada’s iconic maple syrup.

SPEND TIME AT DROP-DEAD-GORGEOUS LAKE LOUISE

If Mother Nature has ever shown off, it’s at Lake Louise in the UNESCO-listed Banff National Park. It’s one of the most photographed lakes in the world and you’ll see why once you set eyes on the impossibly blue water, ringed by snowy peaks and lush alpine forest. After we’ve picked our jaws up off the floor, we’ll snap our own stunning pictures of this extraordinary place on our Canadian Rockies tour.

GO WHALE WATCHING IN VICTORIA

Hop on board a boat to enjoy a three-hour whale-watching expedition in the waters off Victoria on Vancouver Island. Keep your eyes peeled for these magnificent animals and other incredible marine life like seals, porpoises, and bald eagles. You never know when you might spot a massive Orca whale breaching the water, but spring and summer are the best times of year to spot the resident whales in all their glory.

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN CANADA

Wondering what to eat in Canada? We’ve got the hottest tips on where to find the best Canadian food like butter tarts, tourtière and BeaverTails.

BEAVERTAILS

This famous chain of Canadian pastry stands has been operating since 1978 and they’re loved for their namesake BeaverTails pastries, made from fried dough and hand stretched to look like beaver’s tails. Topped with all sorts of flavours like cinnamon, chocolate sauce and apple pie, you just have to try them all.

BUTTER TARTS

It doesn’t get more Canadian than butter tarts. These sweet treats are made from butter, sugar, eggs and syrup baked in a pastry shell and topped with raisins and walnuts. With a gooey filling mixed with the crunchy top, each mouthful is an utter treat.

TOURTIÈRE

Don’t fill up on dessert just yet! Canada has some delicious savoury dishes too, like this classic meat pie. It’s usually made with minced beef, pork or veal baked in a flaky, golden crust and traditionally served up on Christmas, but we’ll show you where to find it all year round.

WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT CANADA

Canada is particularly irresistible during the warmer months of summer, autumn and spring, with sunny cities and the best walking conditions up for grabs.

BEST TIME TO EXPLORE THE CANADIAN ROCKIES

From mid-June to mid-September, the mountain scenery is at its best, the most beautiful trails are open, plus you’ll see the trees go for gold in September.

BEST TIME TO SEE CANADA’S NIAGARA FALLS

If you want the warmest weather, head to the falls from June to August. If you prefer cooler weather and fewer crowds, visit the falls in spring and autumn.

BEST TIME FOR WILDLIFE SPOTTING IN CANADA

Head to the national parks in spring to spot brown and black bears, or visit the coast in summer to see whales come out to play.

PACKING TIPS FOR CANADA

Comfortable shoes

Once you set your eyes on Canada’s gorgeous mountains and lakes, you’ll be itching to strap on your most comfortable pair of walking shoes and get out there.

Canadian dollars

Stock up on Canadian cash before you go, or if you’re crossing the border into Canada, don’t forget to switch out your US dollars for the colourful Canadian currency.

Camera & extra SD card

With all that mind-boggling natural beauty, your camera is sure to get a workout when you visit Canada. Bring an extra SD card or two so you never run out of room for all your photos.

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN CANADA

Learn the history of First Nations Peoples

Take the time to gain and understanding of the history and stories of the Candadian First Nations Peoples by visiting the national park reserves, exploring museums and visiting artisan workshops.

Watch wildlife with care

From bears and moose to elk and wolves, Canada has some seriously incredible wildlife. It’s okay to watch from afar but you should never try to feed or approach any wild animals.

Say no to plastic

Canada’s landscapes are truly spectacular and we can help keep it that way by not bringing any plastic waste into the country and using refillable bottles and bags.
